Professor Lee Presents Papers at UC Berkeley and NYU

Professor Peter Lee recently presented a work-in-progress entitled "The Supreme Court's Myriad Effects on Scientific Research" at the Intellectual Property Scholars Conference at UC Berkeley School of Law. The paper examines the recent Supreme Court case, Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, which held that isolated DNA is not patentable subject matter. Professor Lee's paper argues that the Supreme Court's opinion will have subtle but important implications for increasing freedom to operate in biomedical research.

Professor Lee was also an invited speaker at the 2nd Thematic Conference on Knowledge Commons at NYU School of Law. There, he presented a work-in-progress entitled "Centralization, Fragmentation, and Replication in the Genomic Data Commons." The piece explores various mechanisms of managing and modifying data generated by nucleotide sequencing initiatives.

Professor Lee's scholarly work addresses the intersection of science and society, particularly exploring the patent system's impact on scientific and technological progress.
